Editorial: Fox is not that conservative

October 10, 2019

Fox News is not a truly conservative media outlet. It looks like one because of a handful hosts, including Shawn Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and a few others. They are genuine conservatives and they self-identify as commentators, not reporters. But Fox has some very liberal personalities and unfortunately, they tag themselves as “newsmen”…

Editorial: Change in judicial directions

October 3, 2019

If you think that the Oklahoma Supreme Court is unbiased and non-political, you are kidding yourself.

September 26, 2019

The assault on Christianity by the Left is being joined by a wave of anti-Semitism. Here’s an example.

The fake news never stops.

Buoyed by the allegations made by a new book, Democrats running for…

Editorial: Wrong plan for the Tulsa police

September 19, 2019

Mayor G.T. Bynum has buckled to public opinion and backed off his plan to put the Tulsa police and their actions under scrutiny by people with a liberal agenda. Good. Bynum has gone back to the drawing board to come up with a scheme that placates radical members of minority groups who think that police…

Editorial: The murder rate in Baltimore

September 19, 2019

If you want to stop murder in America’s big cities, target the criminals, not law-abiding citizens. In early September, in a span of about 16 hours, seven people were shot (two died) in different neighborhoods in Baltimore, Maryland. Baltimore had recorded more than 240 homicides in 2019, according the Baltimore Sun. If that figure reaches…
